Dragon Cam Size 8 Green DMM

Advanced Dual Axle Technology for Optimal Crack Placement

The Dragon Cam Size 8 Green DMM represents a significant advancement in active protection design for climbing cracks and mountaineering applications. The dual axle design expands the working range well beyond traditional single axle cams, allowing this size to accommodate a broader spectrum of crack widths. This expanded capacity means climbers can protect more placements with fewer units, reducing overall rack weight while maintaining complete coverage across variable formations encountered during rock climbing, alpine ascents, and mixed terrain climbing.

TripleGrip Lobe Technology and Holding Performance

The TripleGrip lobes feature machined aluminium contact areas rather than standard anodised surfaces, creating superior grip on crystal structures and micro-features within cracks. Additional edges machined into each lobe catch on rock imperfections, enabling the cam to bite more aggressively and resist walking during loaded placements. The thickened lobe construction provides enhanced robustness under sustained load and significant resistance to bending forces, ensuring reliable performance in demanding climbing scenarios where cam security is critical to safety.

Ergonomic Design and Practical Sling System

The hot-forged thumb press delivers quick, stable placement and retrieval while maintaining secure handling in challenging conditions—when wearing thick gloves or during high-pump situations where finger strength is compromised. Unlike traditional cam slings, the extendable sling configuration eliminates the need for additional quickdraws at each placement, allowing climbers to extend protection points swiftly and reduce rope drag when routes change direction, move around corners, or traverse roof features. Each cam can be racked independently on a single carabiner for a self-contained, flexible system.

Colour-Coded Identification and Strength Rating

The green colour coding provides instant visual identification across the DMM protection range, enabling rapid size selection during active climbing. The colour system is coordinated across passive and active protection products, allowing quick selection of alternative sizes if the primary choice does not fit the placement. All Dragon Cams Size 1 and upward maintain a 14kN strength rating, meeting rigorous standards for sport climbing, trad climbing, and mixed alpinism where equipment reliability is non-negotiable.

Ideal User Profile and Application

The Dragon Cam Size 8 is engineered for experienced climbers, mountaineers, and alpinists who regularly protect crack climbing routes and require durable, versatile active protection. This size performs optimally in medium-width cracks encountered on traditional climbing routes, alpine rock faces, and mixed terrain ascents. It is particularly valuable for climbers who prioritize rack efficiency, need reliable performance across varied rock types, and seek to minimize harness weight while maintaining complete placement security across a wide range of crack geometries and geological conditions.
